| Oakley Sunglasses FLAK JACKET® XLJ GOLF SPECIFIC SKU# 03-921 £175 |
Was it sponsorship reasons or were these sunglasses actually worth the extra cost?
These sleek-looking, minimally designed, affordable sunglasses are probably the most versatile in the world of outdoor sports. I have tried various types of sports glasses for cycling but not Oakley. After a few weeks trial I must conclude Oakley glasses are fantastic and I wouldn't look elsewhere for my cycling glasses.
I personally thought Flak Jack frames were fantastic because of the design and comfort. I loved the great fit even when I had my helmet on. I found the lenses felt nice and strong and also gave good protection around the eyes which prevented the wind in my eyes causing them to water.
Oakley lenses also protect eyes from impacts. Reflective surfaces like tarmac and water normally cause really bad glare, but the polarised lenses block 99 per cent of glare keeping your view ahead nice and clear.
For me these are my favorite glasses that I will continue to use for when I go out cycling.
Some other good points I found are :
1. Lens durability :
- Oakley lenses are called Plutonite lenses and these lenses are made from impact resistant polycarbonate lenses.
- These lenses go through stringent ball bearing tests to ensure they do not break.
- The lenses are moulded unlike normal curved plastic lenses found in other sports lenses.
2. Unique XYZ technology used in producing Plutonite lenses :
- Distortion eliminated are lenses not curved.
- 100% UVA rays which cause harmful ageing filtered out.
- UVB rays which cause burning also filtered out.
- UVC rays which cause cancer also filtered out.
- 100% harmful blue right is also filtered out.
3. Practicality/Versatility of frames :
- Due to their smaller size the Flak Jackets are much less invasive
- Available in both standard and larger XLJ options
- The lenses give good protection over the eyes especially in windy conditions
Oakley sunglasses are more expensive than other ranges, we also currently offer Rayban, Tom Ford or Sunwise but all are well worth their value and I can guarantee you our prices will not be beaten.
